William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the U.S.,was born in a small town.When he was a boy,he was very quiet and shy.Because he was so quiet,everyone thought that he wasn’t bright(聰明).

The people in the town often put a nickel(五分鎳幣)and a dime(一角硬幣)before him and asked him which to choose.He always chose the nickel and they laughed.

One day a woman felt sorry for him.She asked,“Why do you never take a dime and always choose a nickel instead? Do you know a nickel is worth(值……錢)much less than a dime?”

“Certainly I know it,”William answered slowly.“But if I choose the dime,they will not ask me to choose them any more.”
